Executive Severance
Reviews "Executive Severance," a laugh out loud comic mystery novel, epitomizes our current cultural moment in that it is born from the juxtaposition of authorial invention and technological communication innovation. Hold the phone; exalt in the mystery--engage with Blechman s story which signals the inception of a new literary art form. - Marleen S. Barr, author of "Envisioning the Future: Science Fiction and the Next Millennium" A He Dunit. It s got everything: narrative drive, mystery, comedy, thrills, tension, laughs. Blechman is on to something, a genre as important to literature as the invention of haiku in rhyme. ... - Marvin Kitman, famous critic A delightful twitstery - a mystery wr...

Media and Formal Cause
Reviews No one understood causality, whether Aristotelian or electric, like Marshall McLuhan. Now, in Media and Formal Cause, no one reveals understanding of formal cause in the digital environment better than McLuhan's protégé son, Eric. In the foreword, Lance Strate writes that M. McLuhan's Understanding Media was one of the most important books of the 20th century. For anyone who wishes to understand how things truly work, Media and Formal Cause is one of the most important books of the 21st. Arguably formal cause has been the least understood but the most intellectually important of all of Aristotle's four agents or processes of causation. This small volume proffers a large understandi...

Digital Modernism
Digital Modernism examines how and why some of the most innovative works of online electronic literature adapt and allude to literary modernism. Digital literature has been celebrated as a postmodern form that grows out of contemporary technologies, subjectivities, and aesthetics, but this book provides an alternative genealogy. Exemplary cases show electronic literature looking back to modernism for inspiration and source material (in content, form, and ideology) through which to critique contemporary culture. In so doing, this literature renews and reframes, rather than rejects, a literary tradition that it also reconfigures to center around media. To support her argument, Pressman pairs m...

Spirit Under Construction
"With a clear unsentimental lens on the past, Harp's smart and captivating poems dissect the remnants of time and what grief charges us with daily. Lyrically powerful and unique in their stark American landscape, these vibrating poems serve as ropes that pull us back into the river and out again towards a safer shore. Ada Limón, author of Bright Dead Things: Poems "In this poignant collection, the perilous imperative to mark one's life runs up against the expanding blanks of memory and of the language in which we resign ourselves to recover it. Beneath the hum and penance of the imaginable world and the loneliness of the unimaginable one, these poems weather." Kimberly Johnson, author of Uncommon Prayer "Harp transcribes and translates the world (and the otherworldly) into all its complexity. When he turns his keen attention to the ordinary, it transmutes before our eyes into the miraculous. Spirit Under Construction is beautifully strange and prescient, formally deft and subtle." Eric Pankey, author of Crow-Work
